Commands & Colors: Ancients

"The Commands & Colors: Ancients game system allows players
to portray important engagements of ancient history. The
battles, included in the scenario booklet, focus on the historical
deployment of forces and important terrain features on the scale
of the game system. The scale of the game is flexible and varies
from battle to battle. For some scenarios, an infantry unit may
represent an entire legion of soldiers, while in other scenarios, a
unit may represent just a few brave warriors.
The Command card system drives movement, creates “fog of
war”, and presents players with many interesting challenges
and opportunities, while the battle dice resolve combat quickly
and efficiently. The battlefield tactics you will need to execute
to gain victory conform remarkably well to the strengths and
limitations of the various ancient unit types, their weapons, the
terrain, and history."
